‘Who will be my 100th twitter followee?’

‘tailgaters are fools—if an accident happens, the follower gets the blame, not the followee’

‘Of course, not everyone likes being followed, so I try to be courteous and stay at least a few yards behind and to the side of the followee.’

‘This requires extra effort on the part of the followee, because you have to be aware of your lane, and the lane to your left, and the next 100 feet behind you as well.’

‘The follower had to keep a respectable distance behind the followee, while avoiding the traffic and stoplights that could easily cause a separation.’

‘A bunch of people got between us (because he was a bad followee) and wouldn't pass him so I couldn't catch up.’

‘The only times it has happened to me have been when the followee is driving either too fast or just not really understanding the difficulties of the follower, having to weave and push and dodge through traffic.’

‘In most surveillances the most important rule is: it's better to lose the followee than to let her catch you following her.’
